Niel Joubert Viognier 2006

2007 Swiss International Air Lines Wine Awards – Bronze Award
The wine exhibits a brilliant golden hue as a result of the partial oak maturation. The nose offers ginger and peppery flavours with the oak evident in the background. On the palate, the wine is rich and creamy.
